General Notes:
"Windyhills, in the west end of the parish (of Alves), was long the heritage of the Dunbars. From them they were purchased by Francis Brodie (son of John, a natural son of David of Brodie), whose grandson John, who died a captain at Carthagena in 1741, having no issue, disponed his lands to Major George Brodie, son to Milntown ; by whose death, in 1748, they came to his brother Alexander Brodie of Windyhills, the fourth in descent from David Laird of Brodie, who is now Baron of Windyhills and Hemprigs."

This day I did count with Knockoudi, and saw the strait of poor people for the new burden of excyse, and desird euer to speak or think soberli euen of common burthens. I went al night to Lancot, of purpos to communicat with him anent the estat of his soul ; and the next day the Lord gav som occasion to speak a word to him of exhortation and warning. He acquainted me with the temptations that he had been in. I desird to bear his burden."
